Monteverde Biological Cloud Forest Reserve Take one of Costa Rica’s most diverse natural history walks! Positioned atop the Continental Divide in western Costa Rica, the Preserve extends down both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes. The resulting combination of climatic and geographic factors creates temperature and humidity gradients which change dramatically over relatively short distances. Splendid quetzals and Bell-birds fly about the canopy of the forest trees, and iridescent hummingbirds hover around in search of nectar. Because of the activity patterns of animals in this forest, we recommend taking this tour early in the morning so that you can live the experience of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat.
Natural History Walks If you want to get the most of the Treetop Walkways at Selvatura Park, let us suggest you to book a guided tour. In this walk you will learn about the natural history of Monteverde, about its mammals, birds and its many plants, such as bromeliads, epiphytes, ferns and all that concerns the cloud forest ecosystem. Reservations are required for the Natural History Walks and the recommended times for these walks are in the mornings. The tour takes between two and three hours. Groups start from two people up to eight per guide. Bookings must be done at least one day in advance.
